Could a World War II super soldier teach us anything about estate planning? In Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers goes from a scrawny kid nobody will enlist to the man an entire country is built around. The decisions that get him there are the same ones families make when they name somebody to act for them. The Army didn't pick Steve because he was the strongest man in camp. They picked him because of what he did with a flagpole.

We don't just break down the core legal lessons hidden in this Marvel blockbuster, we explore whether Steve Rogers himself becomes the legacy, the one who carries the values of the past onto the Avengers team. Listen in and discover how Steve Rogers's story connects to modern-day family dynamics and planning. Whether you're a Marvel fan or just curious, you'll see how estate planning concepts are truly universal. Plus we'll talk about:
